avenues between hillside an easton at 7:00 p.m. >> what makes it challenging is it's all primarily a residential neighborhood and we want to be aspectful as possible to the people attending the service but also as minimally impacting as possible on the residents that live in the area. >> reporter: to alleviate traffic, shuttles are take mourners between the church and the high school in millbrae. on campus william was enrolled in the culinary arts program. some students are wearing red ribbons in his memory and challenging other schools to join them in raising money for the san bruno fire victims. there are so many people here, there's an overflow crowd outside the church. the memorial is expected to end at about 6:00 tonight. and then afterward a reception a couple of minutes away at mills high school. juliette? >> heartbreaking. all right, sharon chin, thank you. tonight there are new clues into the cause of the san bruno pipeline blast. investigators say bacteria may be to blame. anne makovec explains how it

could have caused the deadly explosion. reporter: a once thriving neighborhood now reduced to shades of gray, ash covering everything that stands, and everything that stands won't stand for long, a sight that can crack even someone who does this for a living. >> on the emotional side, it's -- it's heart-wrenching. >> reporter: the debris is separated in a what's recyclable and what's going to the dump. when you look at a vehicle like this, everything is decimated except for the things that were metal down to the wiring that was once holding together the wheels. as the clean-up process continues, so does the investigation into what caused this. >> the whole community wants answers. we don't want this to happen anywhere else again. >> reporter: new concerns about pipeline corrosion coming from the inside is one of the elements being examined on this piece of pipe, which is now in washington, d.c. one possibility, microbiology- influenced corrosion is what

caused a similar gas line blast a decade ago in new mexico in a pipe the same size as the one that blew here and around the same age, five decades olds. this is how it happens. microbes thrive in pools of water. pools of water can collect in pipes. that bacteria releases gases that break down the pipe's walls. the "san francisco chronicle" is reporting that pg&e filed a statement with state regulators last year expressing, quote, ongoing concern about internal corrosion on the line which runs from san francisco to milpitas including san bruno and that pg&e admitted that water had shown up on tests done on the pipeline. pg&e refused to comment this morning. >> they said they remain significant because we have seen trucks down there all the time and stuff like that. i don't know what they were doing. >> reporter: now she is concerned about the aftereffects of the blast, like asbestos and metal toxins, though the health department says the air and soil are

garrido's method competency. that means he may never stand trial for 28 counts of kidnapping, rape and false imprisonment. the judge has not even seen the psychological reports on garrido. instead, he says he based his decision on talks with garrido's lawyer and his own observations. >> when somebody wants to either go to trial for crazy reasons or wants to not go to trial for crazy reasons, that person is not competent. >> criminal proceedings against garrido's wife may still continue. the couple is accused of keeping dugard and her two daughters captive in the backyard in antioch until last year's arrest. how well do you know the person who is caring for your loved one? an alarming new investigation reveals hundreds of home care workers have criminal pasts. the "l.a. times" reporting more than 200 california workers and applicants have been flagged by investigators as unsuitable to work in the government's home

it. >> come on, they are using the word asses now as a -- ad word. so, you know, is that appropriate? >> reporter: a spokesman says levi's chose the language because in worldwide surveys it reflects how women talk about their jeans. however, she refused to answer whether levi's considered the language appropriate for children to hear. >> it's inappropriate for all ages, i would think. i think we start to get desensitized to what is appropriate and what i would like my 5-year-old and my 8- year-old to look at. >> if they see it they will think it's okay to say it. >> reporter: on the other hand, if the idea is to get attention -- >> i liked it. i think it's, uhm, compelling, grabs my attention. >> i like the one on the right personally. >> reporter: this billboard is leased by cbs outdoor which is owned by the same company that owns kpix. cbs outdoor is solely responsible for determining what's appropriate and what's objectionable on its billboards. there is no government oversight. should there be somebody who says this is appropriate and

that's not? >> no. in terms of trying to restrict what we can say and do, definitely would not go that far. >> reporter: we never heard back from cbs outdoor about what its criteria is, juliette, for determining what's appropriate and what's not. >> thank you, simon perez. next, killing prostate cancer cells with energy waves. the minimally invasive treatment that shows promise. anheuser-busch's solution to sagging sales: free samples. how soon you can score a free beer. hey, check this out. i'm actually on the baseball field at at&t park. and it's not for baseball action. now, how you can take part in the big event here going on at at&t park plus, the pinpoint forecast as eyewitness news continues right here on cbs 5. ,,

treatment. >> it's more accurate in terms of delivering energy to a specific area without damaging the surrounding areas. >> reporter: because it doesn't harm the rest of th prostate, it has less side effects than surgery and radiation. >> incontinence? >> no incons tense. >> reporter: the clinical trials offer patients whose prostate cancer has come back but if it gets fda approval, the technique could also be used for patients diagnosed for the first time. he wants to be an example for other african-american men. since they are more likely than white men to develop prostate cancer and twice as likely to die from it. >> if you don't take these tests, what chance do you have? when you feel the pain, it's too late. >> reporter: more than a dozen hospital apart of the clinical trials which will take years to complete. randall pinkston, cbs news, new york. danger in a bottle. why the dea now wants you to open your medicine cabinet and clean it out.
